Definitely a great bookstore! The workers are always extremely helpful and friendly. They almost always have the book you’re looking for, and if they don’t they’re always more than willing to take your name down and call you when they get a copy in. This is my favorite place to get great books for better prices!

I used to frequent this bookstore several times a month. I will say that, overall, the staff is friendly and welcoming. The store is, however, a mess and their buyback system isn’t fantastic… but works for a true bookworm. Mess: many books in stacks on floor and/or in boxes. The vinyl albums are not priced(they check online to get a current price) and are too disorganized to enjoy browsing. Buyback: you turn in books for«credit» based on book quality. Then you get $ off on your purchases. So, if you are just crazy about books and like to recycle them… this is the way to go. Little odd about cell phone usage in the store… and seem a bit uptight about kids.

Great place to indulge, but hurts the wallet! I LOVE books, and reading! So naturally I love my used bookstores and this bookstore is great! I can’t say though that I like their prices. Compared to other bookstores I been to this place seems a bit overpriced. I went in looking for 3 books, which I couldn’t find either one of them. One was an anne rice book, and the others were most likely rare finds. Staff: Super awesome! Super friendly! Great to help! They probably are the best book staff I ever met in a book store. Prices: They are over priced, I found many books priced for 6 – 8 dollars for which I could find for less than a dollar in the same condition in other stores! Selection: Tremendous! Some books are on the floor and double stacked! Buyback System: They will give you in-store credit towards another purchase more like a trade program than buyback! They want to keep inventory flowing I can see why! for my PROS and CONS PROS: — Great staff — Great selection(although not for me on my visit) CONS: — Overpriced Compared to other stores — Bad buyback system Honest opinion! I feel this store and owner should turn to internet selling the books if they haven’t already! Some of the books I saw priced that I was interested in I could find on my weekend goodwill hunt for a dollar or 2 dollars. Way overpriced compared to other used booksellers from both online and stores. BUT! If its a great read: D who cares about price!

Best bookstore! I couldn’t find Jurassic park in Barnes and noble or Books a million but came here just crossing my fingers they would have it and of course they did! They had 3 old copies but all were in great shape! I paid $ 2! You are going to find whatever you need here!

I got it into my mind to go to used book store in my area. I found this one after a short Google search. I have to say, I like. I got some books that I’ve wanted to read, and the attendant even discounted one of them for me to match the prices on Amazon+shipping on the exact same edition. Both attendants were very friendly, looked up info for me without me having to ask, gave me recommendations on books I might like according to watch genre I like. Pleasant classical music playing, clear walkways and just pleasant all around. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the mood for a book but you’re not quite sure what book. It is packed from floor to ceiling, double stacked shelves, and the prices aren’t half bad. You’ll need at least 1 – 2 hours if you’re just browsing, because there are a lot and I mean a lot of books to go through. I ended up with a copy of Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, Interview With a Vampire by Anne Rice, and Maximum Ride: Angel Experiment by James Patterson, all of which I wanted to read at one time or another.

Anytime I am in Florida I have to visit this store. So many treasures just waiting to be found. Its a family owned business with so much selection. I also really enjoy the no cell phone policy, its nice to walk through and browse without hearing electronic games going off and overall distracted people texting and talking. What a find, if your nearby or even passing through…, you should certainly go in and say hello, you never know what you may find and the staff is very helpful!

A whole heap of books I’m not sure if these are the best used books but they sure do manage to cram a whole lot in a small area. Of course being a used book store you never know what you are going to find and just kind of take you change. Always something interesting. We found some maps that were have been looking for and unable to find in new books stores as well as some cool books on the local trails and flora of Florida. The two people working there were very friendly and more than willing were they thought the books we were looking for were. Also talked about just about anything else you wanted. Not the largest used bookstore around and certainly not the neatest but a store with a whole heap of used books on just about any subject you could want.

I had the pleasure of spending three hours in here when my car windows were getting tinted right around the corner, and it’s a real diamond in the rough. The shopkeeper is super friend and helpful and they’ve got a great selection on all different topics. Plus, if you bring your used books in, you’ll get credit towards your purchase. I love the whole concept and can’t wait to go back!
